Emanuel reacted to kye in New cinema camera...?
Looks interesting with an MFT mount and the claim the Hypersmooth works with any rectilinear prime (their stabilisation is a pretty important feature, especially with how small they are).
Of course, if they don't have animal eye-detect PDAF then the internet will skin them alive!!

Well WTF - turns out "1 inch sensor" is marketing BS and it's actually 13.2mm wide, making the crop factor 2.73x, and only just a touch larger than Super 16 which is 2.88x.
Source
Lots of MFT glass and also lots of c-mount options too as already suggested. Ironically, with the lack of electronic contacts you can't control the aperture on most modern MFT lenses, so much of the sharpest glass will be unavailable (making the 8K sensor spec rather redundant!).
However getting shallow DOF will probably be more difficult, especially as we have no idea what kind of focus assists it will have, so stopping down might be the best move (focus wide open then stop down to eliminate any slight errors) and that will sharpen up older / lesser lenses.
This might end up being the mythical tiny S16 cinema beast that people have wanted (or said they wanted!).
It's much smaller than even the BMMCC and that's before you realise the BMMCC doesn't have a screen so you have to rig it up to use it.
I am still skeptical though - there's lots of stuff we still don't know about and given GoPros history I have complete faith that they'll include at least one fundamental fatal flaw that will prevent this.

Is there really no electronics on the lens mount? That's a bit of a shame.
Is there any info on crop factor, as I understand it's not an MFT sensor, only MFT mount.

4Kp240 is pretty neat. If they had pricing in there, I missed it - but if Mission 1 Pro ILS is <$700, I might take a flyer on it. They made almost exactly the camera I've wanted for a while now. The sensor could be a little better, but a 1" sensor ain't bad. If it has usable low-latency HDMI out (or a small adapter to get it), it could be a semi-ideal lightweight travel camera.

Emanuel reacted to Andrew - EOSHD in Sports Broadcasters are apparently the only ones buying Blackmagic Design gear these days.
The reason Blackmagic are out of the consumer / prosumer market now, is that the Japanese cameras are too good and too cheap.
Blackmagic can't compete with an X-H2 shooting ProRes 422 8K for under $1500.
Also the profit margins in the broadcast stuff is massive.
It's funny isn't it, how the industry has pivoted back to where everything was before 2010, pre DSLR!
The only thing missing now are new small chip ENG shoulder cams! Then we can truly party like it's 2008!

A steam train visited Sydney for Easter so it was fun to capture some video of it.The day was overcast so didn't use any ND filters.The lens is an clunky old AF-S 24-85 non VR that needs persuasion to get past a notch at 50mm

As an American I'd like to quote the immortal words, the best words, the POTUS has shared on this holiest of days, "Praise be to Allah"
Seriously though, it would be wonderful if there were more folks truly (not just pretending) trying to live by the actual authentic philosophies of the New Testament. If only we could be so lucky.
Happy Easter.

Let's keep the debate goin'
...Can't wait for the next great prompt artist to really bring their vision to the screen. No one prompts as well as that Vogel dude. That guy prompts. Why try to create a golden hour scene when you can just ask for it? Nothing says artistic cinema like a computer deriving and stealing other's hard work.
:-|
Should we go to an art museum to look at some lesser talent's paint-by-numbers? The creation matters. Now let's do motion pictures. Cinema has always been craft as well as the art. Minimize the craft, minimize the art.

100% - I'd assume that this was the best image that an expert with all the other associated equipment was able to get with a decent travel budget and after a decent period of having it.
I've always maintained that there are three useful references for a piece of equipment:
The best images that anyone is able to create
This shows the upper limit of its potential The images that competent reviewers get
This shows the type of images that people of moderate skill are able to get in non-ideal conditions The worst images
You never get to see these until you get one yourself, but in theory this would show how fragile/flexible the camera is (for example you can expose an Alexa pretty horribly wrong and still get a half-decent image from it, but try that with a camcorder and it's a complete disaster) The promo is only the first category, and the fact there are only a few shots in there is a statement in itself.
I think the 15mm is a lot better than people make out, but of course most discourse online is from people who think that a Zeiss Otus is the ideal lens and that Michael Bay doesn't use large enough apertures. To be honest, when reading / listening to most opinions now I am just hearing that the person hasn't been to the cinema for years, hasn't watched any/much classic cinema, and isn't even familiar with the saying "F8 and be there" let alone thinks that it is the cornerstone of almost all the important photography in the history of the field.
I was always interested in the 9mm but as I bought the SLR Magic 8mm F4 as one of the first lenses I bought, then upgraded to the Laowa 7.5mm F2 lens later on, the selection of slow wider pancake lenses was never really justified for me.
Right, I guess that makes the moon shot even easier then. If you have enough light then almost any camera will look pretty good.
Looking at the mount again, there doesn't appear to be any visible mechanism to attach the lens..
I'm wondering if this might be a magnetic mount of some kind, like MagSafe perhaps. If that's true then it might just be a matter of pulling the lens off and snapping another one on. That would certainly fit with the GoPro ethos of it being a fast no-nonsense experience.

Emanuel got a reaction from kye in Anthony Mann & John Alton /Film Noir tribute runs 3 minutes
"How Another Man REALLY Shaped Wong Kar-Wai's Aesthetic // Christopher Doyle" is a far better title... ; )
(>_<)
WTF Lies?? Well, I (try to) follow the point but perhaps when the verb is irregular instead? : X
oh gosh
Wong Kar-Wai’s directing is just something from another world (FULL stop!) ...for those who truly understand its meaning.
Cinematography is part of the filmmaking process, no doubt about that, but I tend to see the other, more distorted side of the debate: those who overlook who truly shapes the work, when the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Even more amazing they were low budget B-movies with shoot schedules under five weeks !

Not even in 4K!
It's like they've never watched a single YT tutorial on how to make their footage cinematic.

Based on the collaboration between director Anthony Mann and cinematographer John Alton, here are the films they worked on together:
T-Men (1947)
Raw Deal (1948)
He Walked by Night (1948) - Mann directed most of the film but was uncredited
Reign of Terror (also known as The Black Book) (1949)
Border Incident (1949)
Devil's Doorway (1950)
The full movie of "He Walked by Night" is on youtube
